Oak Apple Cottage

DESCRIPTION
Oak Apple Cottage is a delightful barn conversion, with much charm. The whole house has a lovely feel to it, with a light, bright interior, and a suite of generously proportioned rooms, making it an ideal family house. This most attractive cottage is constructed of mellow stone and brick elevations, adorned by climbing roses and honeysuckle, surmounted by a tiled roof. The glazed front porch leads to the beamed entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and separate WC/utility room off. To the left lie, the two reception rooms and kitchen breakfast room, all with beamed ceilings and views of the gardens and beyond.

The kitchen is a good size with a range of wall and floor units, integral appliances, tiled floor and door to the rear gardens. The dual aspect dining room is adjacent, with double doors into the dual aspect sitting room with log burner, and French doors to the al fresco dining area. These two adjacent rooms make a huge entertaining space. To the right of the entrance hall is bedroom four, a large double room, with lovely en suite shower room.

The first floor houses the impressive principal suite comprising a large bedroom with en suite bathroom and separate shower, all beautifully appointed. Bedrooms two and three are both good sized doubles, served by a family bathroom. Bedroom 5/studio/office is accessed by a separate set of stairs from the double garage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The cottage is approached by an attractive shared gravelled courtyard (shared with just three other cottages), which leads to the front of Oak Apple Cottage. There is a small lawned area surrounded by flower boarders, with a stone path leading to the front porch. There are three allocated parking spaces, two to the front of the attached double garage and one to the side of the lawns.

There is a gated entrance to the rear gardens where the majority of the gardens lie. The rear gardens are south westerly facing and are a real delight. A set paved terrace abuts the sitting room, accessed via French doors, providing a sunny al fresco dining area from which to enjoy the gardens and far-reaching rolling views.

The gardens consist of a large expanse of level manicured lawns with well stocked deep herbaceous boarders encompassed by a high timber fence and brick wall, providing a good degree of privacy. The gardens have mature specimen trees and a timber post and rail fence at the end, allowing for full enjoyment of the views. There is a timber wood store to the side of the house which is accessed from the rear door off the kitchen.
